    I am looking to buy a new laptop and cant seem to find comparisons between the Turion and Duo core.
    I basically play mmorpg and just dont want to get stuck with another slow desktop replacement!
    Any opinions on which way to go?

    Apparently, Intel's conroe processor (Core Duo 2) is mopping the floor with everything else, but I haven't seen this for myself (its still early that processor has only been on the market since Sunday)

    However, for gaming, you might be better off to buy a faster single core processor, as games can't use BOTH cores. (yet...AMD plans to change that with their quad-core CPU next year) Might save yourself ALOT of money that way.
